Jay D. Cook,
NEW VICE PRESIDENTS
OF RCA
The election of Meade Hrunet and Jay D. Cook as Vice Presi-
dents of the RCA Manufacturing Company by the Board of Di-
rectors was recently announced by George K. Throckmorton,
President. Mr. Brunet. whose service with RCA and predecessor
companies dates from 1019, will continue his present duties as
Manager of the Engineering Products Division, including United
States Government business. Mr. Cook, whose 14 years with
RCA and a predecessor company began in the cost accounting de-
partment, will continue in charge of the International Division,
which handles the Company's export business and directs the ac-
tivities of its foreign subsidiary companies.
Mr. Cook's progress from the cost accounting department led
him to the Company's treasury department. In 1932 he was
elected Treasurer. He relinquished this post to take over super-
vision of the Company's foreign subsidiary companies. In 1939
he was appointed head of the newly-formed International Division,
in which his former duties were incorporated. He lives at Swarth-
more. Pa.
THE NEW DUO-USE ALBUM
WALCO OFFICES MOVED TO NEW JERSEY
CABINETS
Just recently the Georgian Cabinet Shops of Holland, Michigan,
have put on the market their new line of Duo-Use Album Cabinets
with great success. They are made both in traditional and modern
styles and are exceedingly attractive. They have a dual use, both
as a cabinet and an occasional table and are done either in mahog-
any, walnut, or maple. Some of the styles are: Chippendale.
Regency chairside, English Wall Commode, Modern Drop-Front
Commode, Hepplewhite Drop-Front Commode, and Chippendale
Lamp Table. There is also an Early American Magazine Rack.
The prices of these fine pieces of furniture are very modest indeed.
The Company reported as follows: "Many of the important stores
have already placed substantial orders for large volume merchan-
dising."
